re: For one simple example, take the experience of people who were refused membership in certain country clubs, or could not buy houses in certain desirable areas, simply because they were Jewish.)))

I've had this conversation once. The long sad story of how Uncle Issy was kept out of Princeton in the thirties by some Protestant bigot, therefore Jews are Democrats Forever. Poor little prince.

I was tempted to add--"Well, my Cherokee grandma picked up chestnuts along what is now the Blue Ridge Parkway in the thirties so that she could have shoes to go to school...there was no hope for college for any of my family in that generation..."

But I didn't think he'd be impressed, since he was indulging in a ecstatic paroxysm of vicarious victimhood--thanks to pore ole Uncle Issy.

Maybe the real reason is that liberal Jews, and a lot of conservative Jews, too, like Krauthammer et al -- can't bear to rub elbows with Christians, and there are too many conservative Christians in the Repub party. We got a real eyeful and earful of what the real attitudes are during Gibon's release of "The Passion."

Slanderous, and untrue.

Still raging at Krauthammer, eh?

There is a growing contingent of Jewish Republicans, and the paleocons ;) - will just have to get over it. :))

Your post drips with sarcasm, but ignores reality.
